I’m pretty stubborn when it comes to finishing books generally, unless they’re just generic trashy NYT bestseller stuff.
One on my list bugging me though: Three Body Problem. I got it on audiobook, but its too dense for that format. I need a physical copy.
I just finished the three body problem on audiobook a few days ago, it definitely would’ve been better to read a hard copy of it but I still found it to be absolutely amazing. As a huge space nerd, certain parts of that book created amazing visuals in my head that fascinate me, I’ve gone back and reread certain scenes multiple times just because they amaze me to think about.
Almost done the 2nd book and it’s a lot more boring than the first but the end picks up quite a bit at least and I hear the 3rd book is great.
Between Two Fires by Chris Buelhman
I had heard good things about the book, and while it is fantastic, its very dense and plodding and very depressing. There are chapters that leave me in awe but then there are 4 chapters of slow depression that bring the story to a grinding halt.
I only have a third of the book left so I might finish it later but man it’s rough to read sometimes
I read that book after reading The Blacktongue Thief, really enjoyed them both, but Between Two Fires was a dark tale of misery.
War and peace is my white whale, I’ve tried a few times. I’ll put it down for a while as I often do with books but when I pick it back up I’m completely lost in who is who and where I am.
The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
I heard so many good things about it but I could not make myself read it.
